There's only one thing to remember, and it will be marked with a green cone.

Thanks...great bike! Sure, where do you ride? A coworker and i ride at Alafia a couple times a month.

Thanks...my spare cars always seem to end up as shelf's :( It's a great car with just some small bolt-ons. The previous owner put a digital dash in it (POS!) and i'm slowly getting the wiring in order to put an original gauge cluster in it. Hopefully I'll have that done in the next month so, then i can start driving it! :)

I ride everywhere. Alafia, Boyette, Carter/Loyce harpe park, Croom, Flatwoods, or just hit the road on the skinny tire bike. Whatever weekend day I have free.

Well, since this seems to be the "post pics of my new tires" thread...I'll join the fun! I'm limited to 245's in class. Some guys have fit up to 285's under these GR scoobies for ASP and SM.

So you're in STX and S1 depending on Venue? It's a good thing those things don't steer and stop like Barney did.

Hey Early session folks! With all the rain we have had, sure to be piles of sand/small gravel. I'm bringing my leaf blower, anyone else that has one.. Think about bringing it to give the course a once over... It would go a lot quicker with a couple leaf blowers working.

Actually STU for SCCA classes. S1 for FAST...for now. This car has brakes for days!! These cars can turn...you just have to know how to make them do it. If it rains tomorrow...advantage Scoobie.

Scott has never needed help giving blow jobs before at the horse track. Hmmmm. So much for his shot at FTD. :whine: Maybe Jeremy will help him?

So long as it's not purple :blackeye: Go around telling people I got handed my ass by a frickin' purple car and they right away want to know if I know Scott or Jeremy. :rolling:

I had an AWD car for 4 years and it never rained ONCE at a big event. The ONE event it rained at they wouldn't believe the time and made me take a rerun. My shift knob came loose near the finish and I blew it. See? You cannot win by "ploys".

You will have to rely on skill, grasshopper.

Besides, Mario has street tire FTD without even doing a rain dance. :whip:

Keep in your mind that 6FT deep ravine eating your hydroplaning/turbo hitting gnat on several turns of this course.

Get car named: "Capt. Hook." That would suck.

Windows cleaned and rainxed. Suspension set to "rain", so hopefully my little rain dance will at least hold it off for the morning. Not that I mind tuning in the rain. It's been quite a while for me.
